From the google machine:

"HIPAA regulations (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) are federal standards protecting sensitive patient health information (PHI) from disclosure without consent. Covered entities—health plans, clearinghouses, and providers—must comply with the Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and security".
